Join us for this four day long day camp and learn how to animate! Middle school students ages 11-13 put their imaginations to work in the museum galleries creating hands-on projects that will culminate with their building a unique presentation that reveals the stories of our city and our country. This week, you will work with artist and video game designer Ken Amarit to use both hi- and lo-tech principles to conceptualize, create, and set in motion your own animation projects.

Camp History

Join us for this four day long day camp and learn how to animate! Middle school students ages 11-13 put their imaginations to work in the museum galleries creating hands-on projects that will culminate with their building a unique presentation that reveals the stories of our city and our country. This week, you will work with artist and video game designer Ken Amarit to use both hi- and lo-tech principles to conceptualize, create, and set in motion your own animation projects.

You will also meet museum historians, designers, and conservators; conduct investigations throughout the museum and library collections; and take a "behind-the-scenes" look at how objects are curated, preserved, and researched at the New-York Historical Society under the leadership of museum education staff.
